A bloodwood bowl, 6.5" in diameter and 3" high, turned from a single block and finished in polyurethane (several coats). I love this bowl, not because it's anything anyone else would consider particularly special, but because it's the very first bowl I ever turned.  It's thick (the whole thing is as thick as the rim) and somewhat clunky because I didn't trust myself or the wood enough to try to make it any thiner.  No color correction was done or needed; this is exactly what it looks like, although in anything but a bright ambient light, it looks somewhat darker.
